maxima looked sooo elegant! wow, that dress is just wonderful.
the only thing i didn't like this time was the make up... maybe too much in her eyelashes!
 
I believe the tiara is most often worn s a necklace. Queen Beatrix wore it as such during her statevisit to the UK in the 80-ties. Maxima is the first royal to wear it as a tiara (in public). It seems that they are trying to create as many as possible tiaras out of a few. Remember Mabels tiara which was a part of the sapphire tiara, or Anna Pavlovna's spike tiara without the pearls, the emerald tiara without emeralds but with pearls and Queen Sophie's coronet without the pearl-buttons and with diamond stars (I believe Queen Wilhelmina received the stars as a present from het aunt, Princess Marie zu Wied, nee pss of The Netherlands).

I must say that Maxima looks dazzling. Nice earrings as well! I only miss a grand necklace, which is a pity as the RF has plenty of those (the queen does not want to wear them, she once said what why not: 'we Oranges have no neck'.

Can't say I like that tiara--it kind of reminds me of what a little girl would draw in a picture of a fairy-princess. Nevertheless, Princess Maxima looks lovely.

The photos from earlier in the day make me think she should cut a good six inches off her hair? She's a lovely lady, but her hair is really in need of attention.

I like that she went with no necklace. I find sometimes some royals overdo the jewels and end up looking ostentatious, and with such substantial earrings I don't think a necklace was necessary. But I'm crazy, I like minimalism when it comes to jewels. I think the good pieces have more impact in that manner.
 
more pictures from 18th january...without necklace ;-)

I like her better with her hair loose (if it's not too messy), with her hair in a bun she looks at least 10 years older and her face looks thicker as well.
 
in what places ()castles or apartments had W-A lived before het married maxima
 
He lived in Noordeinde 66...its next to palace Noordeinde
N.E.66.jpg
 
So he moved away from home the castle to this then to the house he has with maxima?
thank you
and thank you s o much for the photo
 
he still uses Noordeinde 66, as his office. He bought the house from his grandmother, Queen Juliana. I believe faith-healer Greet Hofmans (according to some the dutch Rasputin) had an apparment in this house as well.

Thank you for posting the pictures misshelen. The whole tragedy must of effected Maxima very deeply. She seems very upset and quite obviously moved.

Can anyone tell me who is seated between Queen Beatrix and Princess Margriet? Is he a government official?

Yes Gabrielle that's correct, he is the Prime Minister JP Balkenende.

I figured that's who it was. Thanks for the info. :)
 
Great hairstyle, great outfit. Does anyone have any better pictures?

I also like Beatrix at this event - she was sitting and talking with the people in a very kind and personal way. Nice outfit too.
 
It's a pity i found one new pic.
And also a little picture from Maxima and Amalia at the baptism from Samuel January 23 2005

in between the castle and noordeinde he lived in a house he/they had bought on the rapenburg in leiden where he studied, he lived there with half a dozen of friends. They could not put him in the traditional studenthouses but he was given the opportunity to have an as normal as possible student life, more than was possible for beatrix when she was in leiden. After he left leiden I think the house was sold to a family and is no longer a studenthouse.
 
Yesterday Máxima spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. She was invited to pay attention to the UN-year of the Microcredit. Willem-Alexander accompanied his wife.
